Strokes of Genius, Wednesday

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo wasn't jumping for joy to go to work about, oh, 99.1% of the time, but for the next three weeks it gave her an excuse to escape the Cabin of Bouncy Cheerful Hell; she might have to take Arthur up on that hunting offer, as bad an idea as that sounded on some levels. She was already, at the very least, considering writing up a prison diary or something.

On the way in to work she'd stopped and handwavily dropped off that application form (filled out with not her own information, of course) back at the, uh, 'adult novelty' store or whatever the hell kind of stupid euphemism people tended to use when they didn't want to call a sex shop a sex shop. It was a relief that the shop wasn't open when she arrived; that encounter yesterday had been unnerving for several reasons.

Anyway. Mission accomplished, and now work -- which, when she wasn't smoking, sketching, or "helping" someone, largely consisted of fiddling with her new cell phone, since she hadn't gotten around to actually loading music on it yet.

[OOC: You are lost and gone forever, oh my darling OCD. (Apparently not so darling since that's an awfully cheerful way to sing about it, no?) I'm around with a couple of patches of Not Around early in the day; unwitting job application by proxy done by arrangement with trigons_child, because we're both kinda evil.]

Covent Garden Flowers [Open 7/8/9]

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan had been thinking a lot about Penelope over the past few days. She wasn't sure if her friend had made it back to town or not, so she left a message and hoped that she would stop by.

In the meantime, she tended to the flowers and plants and wondered why the sign suddenly specified that they sold real flowers. Did someone think they were silk?

Covent Garden Flowers – REAL FLOWERS, THANK YOU

Wellspring Arms & Meditation Centre, Wednesday

[intraspective]

Slacking? Arthur thought she was slacking, did he?

Ino muttered vile deprecations under her breath while she took care of her plants and consoled herself with the idea that she and Zack had come up with yesterday. ‘Something pleasant’ indeed.

For her, anyway. Once the plants were taken care of she curled up in Cable-san’s chair and pulled out a scroll to study.

Wellspring Arms is Open.

The York Gallery, Wednesday July 8th

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Of course it was nice out the day that Shilo had to work, and entertain herself for a whole day. She huffed as she went around with her broom, sweeping up as she always did.

Well, at least there was her creative writing prompt to work on while she was here. As soon as the broom was back in the closet and she was at the desk, she pulled her laptop out and began brainstorming on it.

The York Gallery is open.

OCD up in a moment

The Arms Hotel; Wednesday [ 07/08 ].

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

Just as Valentine suspected, throwing the results of her weekly German quiz from Gunther left her with a lecture about how taking a week off to go play on some desert planet could set back everything she's learned and the 'shame' of not being able to help in the kitchens today. He instructed her on what she should study before storming off, leaving her to contentedly remain at the front desk. She wasn't studying, though. Not German, at any rate; she was just reading through the book she hoped to finish soon, inspiration for perhaps a very good come-back article from the twenty-second century Demosthenes.

WELCOME TO THE ARMS HOTEL
Today's Special:
Coffee Rubbed Cheeseburgers with Texas Barbecue Sauce

The Arms Hotel was open and Valentine was pretty sure Gunther was trying to make up for her lack of remorse for a less-than-perfect score by tempting her with a recipe that sounded that different. Coffee Burgers. Seriously.

Guilty as Charged - 7/8 - Late Morning

[i-lovedfalling.livejournal.com]

With a large cup of coffee, a bottle of water, two toasted cinnamon raisin bagels with cream cheese, a big bag of pita chips, a bar of peanut brittle, and gummy worms to eat, Haley was just rocking out to the Doobie Brothers and chowing down as she sat at the counter. It wasn't often that the girl had much of a breakfast appetite, but when she did, she had a big one.

That said, she was also aware that the island had just shipped in a bunch of new people, so she had made up two signs and put 'em in the window.

Cafe Fina - Wednesday - 7/08

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir made it to work on time, then settled into an almost zen-like flow as he got into his kitchen work. He was still reading up on the simpler dishes that he knew Ino liked, but something in him had just called for something a bit more complicated even if he wondered if it was a bit heavy for mid-summer.

Eh, the air conditioning was on, practically chilling the place all by itself. And it all smelled good enough.
Today's Specials
Sicilian Chicken with Heirloom Tomato Sauce, Artichokes and Olives
Pumpkin Pie Bread
Diver Scallops with Honey Espresso Glaze

The Cafe Fina was open.

The Park, Wednesday Morning

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

It was fairly early morning-- Tether had to be walked, and if Tether was going to be walked, then Cable would have to take a walk, and if Cable went anywhere, Janice had to come with for safety.

He never took this walk at exactly the same time of morning, or in the same place; he did always take it equally armed, and the lap he was taking around the park this morning (not on the mainland, for once - he'd gone to the mainland a few times, the past few weeks) was kept under careful observation, despite his seemingly idle walk.

Neither Jan nor Tether paid any attention to it. They were too busy enjoying the early morning air in... roughly the same way, even if Jan's involved an awful lot more rambling.

[ open park, open post, woo ]

Groovy Tunes - Wednesday

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

Alice wondered if she should place posters in the windows, to let people know about Chad's new television program. He had been the last manager here; it was an event.

In the meantime, she would tell anyone who came in today.

Groovy Tunes was open.

Cabot and Associates, Wednesday

[glasses-justice.livejournal.com]

Alex needed to replace the whiskey in her desk. It could wait until she'd finished writing up this report. Maybe she'd swing by on her lunch break.

Her priorities were shot to hell, but she liked them anyway.

(OCD-free)

Caritas; Wednesday Evening

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

Penelope was on time and only recieved a cursory glance from Tino before he poured her a beer and slid it down the counter to her. With a bit of a grin, she settled behind the bar, sipped her beer, and prepared for the evening ahead.

Caritas is open.

Luke's Diner, Wednesday Evening

[longislandiceme]

Bobby had learned quite a few interesting things since arriving in Fandom. One of those things was that some of his new friends had sadly never experienced the awesomeness that is things like cheeseburgers. So after figuring out where in town one would go to get such things, he handwavily contacted Kyle and George and told them to meet him at Luke's Diner. Time to educate them on some of the finer things in life. Well... finer if you were Bobby Drake, anyway.

[ooc: expecting two, but open, sure. luke's posted with permission from laceycantlie since there's no PC employee today.]

Around town (and in the dorms), Wednesday afternoon

[thatsamilkshake]

New people on the island, new and slightly less girly posters. Slightly. Francine was not immune to eyerolling.

( Cut for your friendslist's pleasure )

Text: Can't fight? No powers? Still want to help when things get weird? Meet up for Support Services, Friday after classes at the picnic shelters in the park to talk about how! Free cookies!!! See Morgana or Francine with any questions. New faces welcome! Open to anyone who wants to help!

[OOC: Establishy but open for reactions.]

Stark Industries - Wednesday

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

After Naomi had finished her Survival class first period, she made her way to work so that she could open for her shift. She made sure that everything was set up and organized before she opened.

Stark Industries is open.

All Around Town, Wednesday Night

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

Elena wasn't very skilled artistically, so she had done the best she could with the posters that she'd promised Ino she would make, for the party.

Anyone who complained that they weren't very pretty could kiss her ass, and shouldn't bother coming to a party which was going to involve large amounts of drinking, anyway. It was good enough, as far as she was concerned.

( cut for image )

(TEXT: Which cabin has the BEST SHOW? Join us at Caritas Thursday Night in the back room to find out! We'll be watching 15 minutes of EACH cabin's namesake. Judges will pick the winner! Please contact Elena or Ino with any questions. No RSVP necessary, just show up! ALL ARE WELCOME!)

(OOC: Establishy, but also feel free to bump into Elena while she's hanging posters!)
